"U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai and her European Union counterpart discussed common challenges posed by non-market economies..." Wow, typically "productive" meeting of bureaucrats. How much are we paying this woman annually?
There is so much government intervention in western economies, starting with central banks, that it's hard to call them market based anymore, at least no more market based than China's.
